Former NYPD Capt. James Pisaniello is paid $8,526 per month by taxpayers thanks to a disability he sustained prior to retiring from the force in 2004, according to the Police Pension Fund.

Meanwhile, he works as NYU’s assistant vice president of campus safety, giving him responsibility for all of the university’s uniformed personnel.

Under pension rules, Pisaniello would not be able to serve as head of campus safety of CUNY or another public university in New York and continue receiving his tax-free $102,314 per year — but a gaping loophole in the law allows him to do that job for NYU, which is private.

The disability pension — and Pisaniello’s ability to continue working in a law enforcement capacity — raised serious questions, said Tim Hoefer, executive director of the Empire Center.

“If he’s got a desk job at NYU, isn’t there a similar job he could do for the NYPD where we could continue to take advantage of his skills and abilities — since this shows he can work around the confines of his disability?” said Hoefer, whose nonprofit has successfully sued to bring more transparency to New York pensions.

The nature of Pisaniello’s disability is unclear.

“It is not the university’s practice to discuss an employee’s hiring or employment details,” NYU spokesman John Beckman said.

Previous coverage by The News showed that an ex-NYPD cop on disability could continue to work in law enforcement outside of the state — as was the case with Christopher DePaolis, who worked for the Broward County sheriff’s department in Florida.

The department fired DePaolis for “failure to meet probationary standards.” A Broward County official said he had not disclosed he received a disability pension.

One ex-NYPD cop pursues a bodybuilding career in Florida. Another has regularly participated in triathlons. And a third has worked as a bodyguard for bigtime celebrities like Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus.

“I’m disabled from the PD but not from life, bud,” the bodyguard, James (Sugar) Kane, told The News in February.

The pension fund and city Department of Investigation have said they are conducting inquiries in light of The News’ coverage.

“If you’re giving someone a disability pension, it should be because the person is disabled,” Hoefer said.
